Cyndi and Rich aboard Legacy

After snorkeling, we had a long swim back to the main beach, then walked back to the other side of the island and retrieved our dinghy. That little beach area is so pretty I want to post a few more pictures. -Cyndi

Here’s a little movie taken underwater at the Coral Wonder. Enjoy.

Tonga has some truly exotic starfish! I think my favorite was the one that looks like a throw pillow. -Cyndi

Rich got some beautiful close-up pictures in the Coral Wonder, and like the Coral Garden close-ups, I’m giving them their own post. -Cyndi

After a long swim to get out there, we finally found ourselves at the Coral Wonder. It was much like the Coral Gardens, full of fish and coral and so beautiful. As we had heard, there was more “plate” coral here, coral with a large, flat surface area that looks like a giant mushroom. The biggest difference, though, was how large this area was—it covered a lot of ground. As we snorkeled, some friends of ours had arrived but had gone way out beyond us. When we went to see them; we found it was even better out there!
People had told us that of the two areas (the Coral Gardens and the Coral Wonder), the Coral Gardens is better. I suspect they didn’t make it out far enough to see the best of the Coral Wonder. I think both are equally impressive (although Rich slightly prefers the Coral Gardens). -Cyndi
